Dear Colleagues:

The administration’s bargaining team and the faculty bargaining team had a respectful and productive third bargaining session today.

We have reached tentative agreement on a number of proposals that were discussed in previous sessions. The administration also received proposals from the faculty bargaining team on issues related to faculty development and benefits.  There was a good discussion about the new proposals, and the administration will consider them in the coming weeks. 

We are working with the faculty bargaining team to schedule our next meeting in early March. The Provost’s Office will continue to provide up-to-date information regarding efforts to reach a mutually agreeable contract on our bargaining website.

Sincerely,

Kate Morris and Ed Ryan 
Acting Provosts
